Clean vocals at various moments: Try Vintersorg (more folk metal), Borknagar, Sorg Svart, Ghost Brigade, Lunatic Gods.

Clean vocals are for wimps. If you see wimps .. kill them!

I would say Dråpsnatt. Swedish band, with harsh BM-vocal and clean folk-vocal. It's not exactly draped in clean vocals, but they make for a good break sometimes. And not to mention; the music itselves is absolutely great.

Woods Of Desolation and Fen are atmospheric black metal bands that utilize clean vocals in addition to harsh ones.

Fans of Agalloch should definitely check out Alda's :tahoma:. It's a great atmospheric folkcoustic black metal album with a raw production and a mix of clean and harsh vocals.

Check out REV 16:8, fucking brutal and clean as hell. They are working on a new album set to drop in 2012 with Magnus Andersson from Marduk.

Mercyful Fate, they don't really apply to the modern standards of black metal anymore but most people consider them as first wave black metal... make sure to check them out!

Written by Branzig on 27.03.2012 at 03:39 The point is that it's black metal... that has clean vocals too. HOLY SHIT. Nah, but seriously... that's the best explanation I can give, you can google it though.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 27.03.2012 at 20:48 I googled it. Turns out it's pointless and totally not Kvlt.

Written by Branzig on 28.03.2012 at 06:21 Ulver did it well in their first album  which I find weird because I haven't heard of anyone complaining about that album which is also considered a classic yet people bitch about other bands with some clean vocals here and there. Needless to say I disagree with you. Hopefully you aren't one of those who think it's not BM anymore because of it. I can't stress enough how stupid it is when I hear someone say that it's not BM simply because it features some clean vocals. Also, the word kvlt never meant anything besides "my dick is bigger than your dick" but BM version of it. So I suppose it was used ironically

Written by X-Ray Rod on 28.03.2012 at 12:59 I consider Ulver's work more as "chanting." I am cool with chanting in BM...I just never thought of the chanting parts as clean to be honest haha. And I don't mind BM that has SOME clean parts in it I suppose, I just prefer my brand to be all lo-fi and harsh. If there are clean vox's I would like it to be around a 20-80 or 10-90 split with clean to dirty respectively. And I would hope that everyone knows that when I use the term "Kvlt" that it's usually a joke

Written by Branzig on 28.03.2012 at 15:38 Why not? They are clean vocals... Chanting is just a type of singing. To me clean vocals is just that... the voices are clean how they sing is a completely different thing.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 28.03.2012 at 15:54 I don't know why I don't haha...I guess because it just fits the music so well that I don't notice them being clean? If that makes any sense at all? Like the chanting and the harsher vox's go together so well. It's like ninja singing, I never even noticed they were "clean" until you pointed it out to be honest haha.

A lot of pagan black metal bands employ clean chants... some do it well, others just make you feel awkward and embarrassed.

Check out Nagelfar for some great viking-ish clean vocals and A Forest Of Stars for female vocals.

Out of the few black metal bands I listened to so far, Dimmu Borgir are the best at marrying harsh and normal vocals: Shagrath + ICS Vortex. The Serpentine Offering is one of the songs where this works the best.

Written by Valentin B on 17.04.2012 at 00:02 i think the threadstarter wants black metal songs, not songs by bands that used to play black metal a few albums before the mentioned song
